Open Source Development with CVS - by Karl Fogel - ISBN 1-57610-490-7

This book is worth it's weight in gold!!!  Seriously, it's one of the 
best written tutorial/reference combination books that I've ever used.

When I first opened the cover I thought that it was a waste.  But, being 
one that hates to give up on something that I paid for, I kept on going. 
  Once I was finished I was able to do most anything I wanted with CVS. 
  There were some things that I had to figure out on my own, but not much.

With this book you just need to trust it and take the steps as they are 
presented.  When you're done you won't feel like you know all about CVS 
but you'll know how to use it.  The book is really for CVS users, not 
techie's that really want to know CVS inside and out.  It's got a bunch 
of fluff about open source that you may want to skip while learning CVS 
and go back to later.

I think I got it at Boarders.
